Cities across the country have used automated speed cameras in traffic enforcement for decades. Today, nearly 200 communities have them in place. But critics...
Educate yourself regarding "systemic racism" and spare us hundreds of posts about every little thing you stumble upon that is unequally applied in society.
Seriously, do it. Starts with access to home loans, for example.
Once again--institutional strategy: divide and conquer. They love distraction, games and BS to stir up their groomed and manipulated prey (the people).
My city installed red light cameras. They removed them after 1 year once they realized 95% of the people it was tagging were people of culture from the poorer neighborhoods.

I know you won't.
It’s not at all clear to me from the video that the placement of the cameras was at all motivated by the racial makeup of the most impacted communities. Calling such outcomes “systemic racism” is a misnomer unless one subscribes to the Kandi’esque purist position of attributing any racial disparity in outcomes to deliberately preserved institutionalized racism.
A better term might be something that conveys “racially disproportionate outcomes of systemic practices” but it’s admittedly not as catchy and polarizing.

Im not making this up!
In this case removing red light cameras is racist, because your city is admitting 95 percent of speed violations are people of color. If this is true, having a speed limit is probably racist, and building roads leading to black neighborhoods is systemic racism.
So they’re saying that cameras are racist because they notice that blacks break the law far more than other groups. This is so woke
What it is saying is that the cameras are more commonly located in areas where black and latino people live. In cities like Chicago these are more likely to be targeting revenue generation than actually making the traffic safer.

SMH....of course a camera isn't racist. However if you disproportionately place them in black and Hispanic areas and not in white areas....the practice is discriminatory and racist.

Shaking your head isn’t going to change a thing. Red light cameras are installed at locations based on crash history. The City has to prove that speeding is a contributing factor to past crashes before speed enforcement is to be considered. The goal is to decrease speed, improve compliance, and increase safety. A speeding vehicle is a speeding vehicle; nobody cares what the driver’s skin color is.
The news segment is actually very well done, and addresses a lot of the issues being raised here. I encourage everyone interested to watch it since it makes some very good points, and even having seen it before, many of them didn't sink in until i just re-watched it.
